Oh, sweeter... :-)) The photograph is soooooooooo wonderful, no question!! I love the lighting and the contrasts... perfect balance in here!! :-)) Excellent work... I love this so much!! uda dzk dvmjsuads Bu one point I have... not sure about the background in the mid of the framework - its the negative of the plant youve said. Thats okay, but I would have positioned it in another way, perhaps smaller in the right bottom corner e.g. Against what the pistil fits perfect in this position.. The way it seems to come out from the pic is excellent chosen here!!! I love this!! uda maaa fiue :-))) hugesthugs
Beautifully framed and presented as always Christian.You do this so well.I love the soft faded shadows on the frame,and the shot is lovely.Well done!-M :)
Lovely monochrome composition, so very delicate and graceful! Well done indeed!
Well done presentation.
I really like the "quite un-experimental" frame!! As for the shot itself, the compo is great and the subject is beautiful but those burnt out highlights ruins it for me!
Elegant b&w photo! With really beutiful and creative frames. :-)
oh love the blending of b/w... beautiful
J'aime la presentation, une jolie photographie avec de bons contrastes. je te souhaite une agrble soir
Gorgeous use of DOF, Christian! Looks great in b/w... ich hab ne Farbversion von dieser Ble zwinkert rigens werd ich wohl den "Regenbogen" morgen posten... kommt zwar net so gut, wie ich dachte, werd's trotzdem posten lacht
Very nice in B&W!!! I always loved B&W photography. (:
Beautiful conversion to B&W and the composition is wonderful. I true gem here.
a wonderful flower. looks elegant in b/w.simply superb done,Christian * vote * #:O)
Again so elegant Christian, I particularly like the faded copy of the flower in the background/frame. Thanks for sharing :-)
Wonderful capture, I've been trying for years to properly capture a hibiscus bloom, just like this!
Looks great in b&w - and you've done some really good work on the frame. Excellent work!
Excellent in b/w .. :)
when i look at this, i think of winter. i like this; however, the lost detail in the flower petals could maybe be improved. perhaps some curves adjustments would have helped here? it might bring in some more of the detail of the petals. the negative image of the flower in the background is most creative and i really like the pistil. the rest of the negative image part seems to not have much detail to...at least for me anyway. i think it would have more impact if just that part were there and the rest erased out. but that's just a personal thing.
The b/w gives the flower a sense of purity(all white). great presentation.
Oh my God, that is simply OUTSTANDING!!!! That is one helluva original and first-class presentation!!! Beautiful oh so beautiful B/W picture but again im mostly stunned by your incredible frame. You even got the font just right!!!!!! Excellent work my friend....simply EXCELLENT!!!! Have a wonderful day....and thank you #:O)
Lovely, looks almost silouette or cut out!
